I stop when I hear her voice and glance over to meet her eyes.
It's...funny. This castle takes away time and reality for just a few moments. It's part of a vampire's castle, to be beyond the walls of reality and the natural and to be in a place that's outside the laws of science and possibility. Time doesn't exist, just as it doesn't exist for our kind.
Carolyn is a stranger here. She doesn't quite belong. She's a human in our world now and I know she wouldn't want to stay here.
Yet...
With her standing there, holding the doorknob as though she did belong her and me just watching her with the glare of the sun coming up through the windows...
Is it so strange, so abnormal, to want to stay...just like this...forever?
"You shouldn't be up without some sort of assistance, you know. If you fall, you could sue us." Bright grin in place, not like that's a difficult thing to do. It's in lost moments like these that I can forget what's in the next room.
"Which is what I've been doing." I force myself to stay calm. This really wasn't getting me anywhere. So much for her plan with the damned solution.
"I wouldn't care if it was just me. But it's also Alexander who has had to deal with her. I won't allow her to bring him down. I've tried making peace with her. I've tried being kind. I'm done trying with her. I'd much rather simply get her out of our lives. If she wants to be miserable, then let her. Let her wallow in her angst that she creates for herself. She has the emotional and mental maturity of a teenager and you know it's ridiculous when even I have to say that."
I'm tired of discussing her. I'm just..sick of her.
"I've made up my mind as to what I'll do. If it is the wrong decision, then I'll take the consequences. But, frankly, I will make sure she doesn't hurt anyone I care about again."
With that, I leave the room, angry, frustrated, and slightly disappointed.
Oi, so much for THAT idea. I guess it's impossible to counsel wait-and-see-ism to a male.
Shoulda known that. Oh, well. Sorry, Klaus.
"Sorry, Klaus!" I call after him, because... bleh. Just BLEH.
Know what? They all need ridalin. I've decided.
Enough of this. I'm gonna go take a shower, and then... well, get back into these things, I suppose, because they're cleaner than my clothes. Then I'll see what comes.
